2nd ODI: Kohli Returns, Varun Handed ODI Debut As England Elect To Bat Against India
Virat Kohli: Talismanic batter Virat Kohli makes a return to the Indian team while wrist spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been handed his ODI debut as England won the toss and elected to bat first in the second match at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday.
India are currently leading the three-match ODI series 1-0, after winning the opening game in Nagpur by four wickets. Kohli, who missed the game in Nagpur due to a sore knee, is back in place of Yashasvi Jaiswal and will bat at number three.
Shubman Gill, who top-scored with 87 in Nagpur, will be back to opening alongside captain Rohit Sharma, with Shreyas Iyer retaining his place at number four. On the other hand, at 33 years and 164 days, Chakaravarthy has become India’s second oldest ODI debutant after Farokh Engineer by replacing a rested Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven.
